TO THE Electors of Franklin Ladies akd Gentlemen— I have the honour to announce myself as a Candidate for your suffrages at the forthcoming General Election. 1 have carefully analysed and considered the policies of the chief political parties. You will have observed that those of both the Reform and Liberal parties are singularly afike in this respect—they are of mushroom-like growth, appearing on the eve ot the election, and will assuredly disappear and lie forgotten by both the people and the authors immediately after it. That of the N.Z. Labour Party has been in existence for many years. I unhesitatingly support it because, though it may be capable of improvement, in some respects, it is the only policy before the people to-day which deals in a sane, capable, and statesmanlike manner with the urgent problems that confront our country at the present time, Further, I come before you Because I believe that neither Liberals nor Reformers have made or will make the slightest genuine effort to combat the soulless profiteering that has flourished during the past five years and has victimised every section of the community. Because I believe that it is necessary to have in power a Government that will resolutely deal with the powerful trusts and monopolies that, unchecked, have grown to such alarming proportions during the past five years. Because I believe that the Government has been guilty of playing financial confidence tricks upon the people, enabling powerful financial interests to obtain unfair advantages over other members of th v e community. Because I believe that the people of New Zealand are weary of the oppressive Continental-like rertrictions that have been imposed ' upon personal liberty. Because I believe that the people of New Zealand are disgusted with the tactics of both Liberals and Reformers in evading and shuffling from the definite and specific charges made against them, and seeking to escape responsibility by abusing and slandering their accusers. Calling the prosecutor names never yet proved a criminal innocent. Because I believe 'hat the Government has not, in many cases, dealt fairly with the retnrned soldiers. Because I believe that the time is ripe for the people to govern themselves instead of being ruled by a Prussian Cabal. Because I believe that the people of New Zealand are opposed to further protection of extremists, particularly of that variety who, without hindrance, have been permitted to prey upon the people by raising the price of food and clothes and farm requisites to an extreme height. And finally : Because I believe that t' e hour in the history of our people has struck when it behoves us, in the interests, not only of ourselves, but of our children, and our children's children, to place the destinies of this country in the keeping of men and women who will not be content merely to patch up the outworn fabric of an inadequate social system, but o! those of broader outlook and bolder conception, and who will strive tor the attainment ol a state of affairs giving equal rights and opportunities to all —"a fair field and favour to none," Ladies and gentlemen, 1 lack—and would scorn—the assistance of powerful vested interests and ot a mendacious press. I shall, however, take an early opportunity of placing my views, in more detail, before von. Till vou have heard me, I respectfully ask von to suspend judgment. 1 am, voui s faithfully ERNEST PIGGOTT.
